We study the relative Hilbert scheme of a family of nodal (or smooth) curves, over a base of arbitrary dimension, via its (birational) cycle map, going to the relative symmetric product. We show the cycle map is the blowing up of the discriminant locus, which consists of cycles with multiple points. We work out the action of the blowup or ’discriminant’ polarization on some natural cycles in th...

In search of materials with three-dimensional flat band dispersions, using ab initio computations we investigate how topological phases evolve as a function hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial strain in two types superlattices: HgTe/CdTe HgTe/HgSe. short-period superlattices, our analysis unveils the presence isoenergetic nodal lines, which could host strain-induced bands at Fermi level without r...

Introduction: Clinical examination and even anatomical imaging may fail to identify primary site of malignancy in patients presenting with cervical nodal metastasis. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) is known to overcome the limitations of anatomic imaging. Methods: Sixty-three (63) patient...

conclusions echocardiography and 2d speckle tracking strain imaging shows improvements in left ventricular deformation indices in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (avrt) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) patients for the mean systolic strain and strain rate at 24 hours and the three-month follow-up. in spite of the normal lvef, even during sinus rhythm, deformation ...

This work provides a practical method for the development of rural road networks in rural areas of developing countries. The proposed methodology enables to determine obligatory points in the rural road network maximizing the number of settlements that have access to basic services within a given maximum distance. The proposed methodology is simple and practical, hence, highly applicable to rea...

We analyze finite volume schemes of arbitrary order r for the one-dimensional singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem on the Shishkin mesh. We show that the error under the energy norm decays as (Nln(N + 1)), where 2N is the number of subintervals of the primal partition. Furthermore, at the nodal points, the error in function value approximation super-converges with order (Nln(N + 1)...

The relation between level crossings, entanglement, and Berry phases is investigated for the Breit-Rabi Hamiltonian of hydrogen and sodium atoms, describing a hyperfine interaction of electron and nuclear spins in a magnetic field. It is shown that the entanglement between nuclear and electron spins is maximum at avoided crossings. An entangled state encircling avoided crossings acquires a marg...

Throughout this study, we continue the analysis of a recently found out Gibbs–Wilbraham phenomenon, being related to behavior Lagrange interpolation polynomials continuous absolute value function. Our study establishes error polynomial interpolants function |x| on [−1,1], using Chebyshev and Chebyshev–Lobatto nodal systems with an even number points. Moreover, respect odd cases, relevant change...

VISUAL acuity is determined by the smallest angle at which the eye is able to distinguish two points as separate. It is therefore inversely proportional to the minimum visual angle. The normal visual acuity is found to correspond to an average minimum visual angle of one minute. Thus with relatively small angles one may say that the visual acuity is inversely proportional to the space which sep...

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to determine direct effects of NO modulation on protective electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular node (AV node) in the experimental model of AF in rabbit. Methods: Isolated perfused rabbit AV nodal preparations were used in two groups. In the first group (N=7), LNAME (50μM) was applied. In the second group (N=12), different concent...
